In my opinion, it's those dumbass parental groups who should be apologizing. They're pretty much the reason why Batman Forever and Batman and Robin were made the way they were.
@Gilch30 Sixth Sense was bad but you're right about Inveption "not being brilliant, it's being something more". If inception was a bad film, I dont think I would have jizzed my pants 20 mintues in just to be angry that I wasn't hard and ready to blow my wad at that incredible ending anymore
You should appoligize for taking a dump on this franchise and ultimatly not following the comic and cutting corners to make a campy , over the top piece of GARBAGE.
@XxComablackxX1937 true statement my friend!!.. And although you can never replace Tim Burton/Keaton's Batman I am still looking forward to Dark Knight Rises. Any Batman film is better than no Batman film. I'm also sick of people arguing about DC vs Marvel. I appreciate both
D.C are better than Marvel at comics, Marvel's comics are for emos and lovers of trauma and 24/7 bickering/miserable heroes. Marvel are better at movies and cartoons
He misunderstood what Batman was. I remember back in 1995 when he was already being criticised for BATMAN FOREVER, he said something like, "It's a comic book, it's supposed to be funny." It was clear that he didn't understand Batman if he thought comic book=funny.
Nolan made Batman dark and gritty (which is what it's supposed to be if we're talking about being true to the comics) but also made them semi-realistic. His interpretation of Batman is what would Batman be like if he existed in our world. On top of that, he properly developed ALL the characters including Alfred and Commissioner Gordon who didn't do squat or say much in the previous franchise.
I'll never forgive him though i appreciate that he knew sucked a crap load but he gave Batman a friggin bat-credit card and he gave George Clooney the lead as Batman terrible job
The movie batman and robin was not that bad but it partly suck because of George clooney as bat man no that was the worst part. bad guy were good Chris o Donnell act good but a better robin would be good too.
Joel Schumacher you did great with your film the Lost Boys but you ruined the Batman franchise with Batman and Robin, Batman forever was okay as a movie.
I don't know if it's nostalgia.. but I still watch Forever on VHS, and I fuckin' love it everytime... in fact, might go watch it now. The music was awesome too
bro all those early batman movies are the perfect example of what is wrong with Hollywood . Hollywood ruined a lot of things for a very long time and you helped. Christopher Nolan should have your sorry ass exiled along with the idiots who made Dragonball Evolution, Conan the Destroyer, and Superman 3
@dr1345 HAHAHAHA! Go look at the reviews for Falling Down and my point will be proved. You probably like all of that psuedo intellectual bullshit. Let me guess, you thought Inception was a brilliant movie too. LMAO Or how about The Sixth Sense. Leave the intelligent films to the rest of us. You go enjoy the movies that match up to your IQ level
I have never been angry with him, I mean, he's just a director after all, he can't decide everything!! Warner Bros wanted a film for kids and teenagers, then he made it, but he could have been anyone else in his position!! I think the only mistake he made was to accept to direct the movie, after "Forever" which was not as bad as "B&R" he should have quit, leaving at least a decent memory of himself in the Batman franchise!! However, apologizes are accepted :)
.... That movie has a concise well-rounded script that took comic-book material to new heights. It had undertones that dealt with politics, faith, escalation, symbol vs vigilante. A moral boundary combined with a very dense theme of sacrifice ALONG WITH MUCH MUCH MORE. There is a reason it is ranked as thr best movie of the past decade.

@l3awl3ag See this is exactly why retards shouldnt be allowed on youtube. The internet is there for you to comment but try and use your brain every now and then. That movie was not good just because of Ledger. Tht is just an excuse used by jealous or hating moron who try and justify their envy of a masterpiece. In fact Ledger was just ONE OF THE MANY great things about it. (continued in the next comment)....
I dont know why, but i never saw the dark knight as a batman film, batman begins was a batman film, i think that nolan is straying too far from the source material, i think the current franchise might be too realistic
@FastandFurious450 See that goes to show that a movie can onlg bd great when it finallt gets somd idiotic haters. He was counting on Wahne anger and his desire to avenge crime. If you recall, Wayne almost shot Chill in front of the courthouse. So he definitely had the potential to serve his cause. And bottomline who gives a shit what you say? You cant even think straight. BB/TDK are consider the BEST cb adaptation of all time globally. Something so genius is always going to have naysayers. FuckU
@FastandFurious450 And just as future refernce, if your going to try and bash as perfect a film as TDK, try to find a movie other than Fast & Furious to back up your statement next time.
@regulator619 That movie didn't really have any negatives but it was kinda lacking on positives too. Heath Ledger as the Joker is what made that movie. If he wasn't in it, it would have been an average movie.
The reason it's so hastily defended by people like yourself, is because you all have a hard on for Ledger's Joker. You don't even realize it. Combine that with the fact that he died, and the movie becomes the nerd bible. Nothing special, but defended and lauded by zealots.
@FastandFurious450 Actually you know what? You may be retarded but even retards need to be set straight. Rachel was bruce's moral conscience in the movie and very important to the Batman character. It detaiked his orgin perfectly and EVERY SINGLE DETAIL MADE SENSE. A NON SENSIBLE CHARACTER WAS FINALLY ABLE TO COONECT PSYCHOLOGICALLY WITH HIM. Every single one of your points is invalid but unfprtunately i need more than 500 characters toknock some sense into your shriveled up brain. No legit cons
@FastandFurious450 Nolan can't make good Batman movies? Are you fucking retarded? Ive yelled at idiots on youtube before but even I have the decency not to make fun of handicaps. Go and enjoy BF/B&R little boy.
I dont understand how this guy, who i actually like as a director, he has some good stuffs (A Time to Kill, Falling Down, Lost Boys.. and i totally LOVE Flatliners) could ´ve possibly done such a crappy Batman movie like B&R, i mean he is a great director he had all the tools to make a decent Batman movie on even Nolan´s league but he just chosed not to.
Anyways, at least Batman Forever was better than crappy Batman Returns from crappy Burton...
We guys should be THANKING Him! If he didn't make the horrible Batman and Robin.. we would have NEVER gotten the wonderful Nolan Dark Knight trilogy. Sometimes the bad things turn out right
@GamerGuyd7Aces lets just say i thought it sucked. bruce wayne and harvey dent were friends in the comics and the animated series. in this movie they meet at a restaurant? once again we get bale's death metal batman voice, boring filler of bruce wayne going to china, the joker looks cheap and emo, etc. yeah nolan's movies aren't that good. atleast be entertaining if youre gonna change the storyline not put in boring gay filler
@FastandFurious450 Well you're one of the few ppl who actually hate Nolan's Batman films. As for me, I never saw Batman as anything more than a corny douche with a gay duo with Robin until Batman Begins came along.. what do u think of that first movie? Dark Knight is my no.1 superhero movie, besides Batman's voice (they better fix that this time round and tone it down!).. the movie was awesome. So you like Schumacher's Batman films, or Tim Burton's?
@GamerGuyd7Aces there are a lot of things i hate in this world(justin beiber, rebecca black, nicki manaj, rap music, college, math class, annoying customers at my job etc.) i dont hate the dark knight i just hate how everybody thinks its a GREAT movie. its not that good and to answer your question i didn't like batman begins either. katie holmes acting like a girl scout whining about justice, bale again playing a douchebag batman, why would ra's al ghul train batman?
@FastandFurious450 its like he trains bruce wayne and teaches him so much just to try and take over the world like bruce wayne is gonna allow it. nolan can't make good batman movies. personally im more of a fan of paul dini, bruce timm and alan burnett. both burton and schumacher dont know batman's history enough but i did love batman 1989 and batman forever. batman returns and batman & robin can fuck off those movies sucked. but arkham city and the animated series? hell yeah
ARE YOU WATCHING MOVIEWORLDEXPRESS ... EVEN SCHUMACHER HATES BATMAN & ROBIN. ANYONE WHO LIKES BATMAN & ROBIN OR EVEN BATMAN FOREVER IS A DICK WEED, RETARD SHIT STAIN
Actually Burton's Batman films, Mask of the Phantasm, Sub-Zero, Batman Beyond Return of the Joker and 1966 were all good Batman movies prior to Begins
@Johnlindsey289 actually burtons film's were pretty shitty. and I'm not counting animated films you dumbass, theres tons of good animated batman series/films. but as for real movies, they all sucked (well maybe burton's were average) untill batman begins.
@ShockEvolution yeah, he wanted to have his "gay" fun with it... Probably made that movie to have some sex with his butt-buddies after it was launched...
@LOKBLUDOM3N no mate it sucked. joel was under the impression like richard lester before him that comic book movies were for babies and shouldnt be dark. so he made it campy and cartoonish and it sucked. riddler was portrayed wrong, two face was played like the joker, val kilmer was wooden and the plot was dumb. it was an insult to the comic book fans, but still not as bad as batman and robin
There will not be a venom Bane in this movie,the mask has another function.I don't think a venom induced Bane would quite work in Nolan's Batman universe.But Hardy is quite a big guy and I suggest you watch Bronson and Warrior to get an idea of how physical he can be.
Well in the first DKR trailer you see Bane climbing out of a well,also there is going to be flashbacks to a younger Ras Al Ghul (maybe training Bane etc)I think Nolan will elude to some sort of Bane back story at least (he deserves it) but of course it will fit in with Nolan's Batman vision so some things might be different.But I am sure Bane will be done justice in this film for being a proper badass.But a complete back story I do not think so.The prologue rocks!
@batman69200 Actually, Man Bat was in another failed project. It was called Batman: DarKnight. They still kept Scarcrow, though. In fact, there were many other projects before begins. Batman Year One and Batman vs. Superman. Still would've been a nice film.
@batman69200 Actually yes. He had Jeff Goldblum as Scarcrow, Madona as Harley, Jack Nicholson as Joker. Clooney and O'Donnel were reprising their roles. I wish it came true, because Harley gets so little respect.
@ComicBookGeezer Okay, in my defense. I like the DESIGN better, but the personality was really wrong. I'll agree with you on that. But I wish people would stop blaming Schumacher, considering Warner did it. They're the ones who made Batman for kids. Never would've happened if Burton had stayed. While B&R wasen't my favourite film, I'll take it over today's mediocre horror remakes. MY OPINION.
Well If Schumacher had integrity he could have said no.Bane is intelligence and brawn combined.So he was done no justice.Miller,Morrison,Moore changed Batman even before Burton's effort came out.I would rather have a great actor (Hardy) performing the role with the essence of Bane than some big guy in a mankini and wrestling mask.What work's in comics does not always work on film.WB learned lessons for sure and that's why Nolan is at the helm.Its serious now
@ComicBookGeezer I agree. The design was correct, but the personality of Ban was waaaaaaaaaaaaay off. Hardy is a great actor, but there are people out there that disagree with that choice. Danny Trejo, who voices Bane on Young Justice, would be a good choice IMO. I'm glad WB learned their lesson. Otherwise,who knows what would've happened.
People disagreed with Ledger being The Joker and we all know what happened there(even I had doubts).Also Hamill does a great 'voice' of Joker,but lets be honest could not have done what Heath did.Voice acting is completely different.For me Hardy is one of the best actors of this generation (watch Bronson) and Nolan's casting is usually pretty good.But of course its only opinions.
@ComicBookGeezer My thoughts exactly. While Hamill may be the best Joker, he's too old to play the character in live action. Legder did a good job, and it's a real shame he only got to do it once. There are actors I think could play him. I think Tim Curry could do it. Watch Stephen King's It.
@isaactaylor08 I wasen't aware of their age. I did remeber reading that Adrien Brody wanted the role of Joker, but lost out to Heath. As of now, Brody is considering playing Ant man.
Also can I please ask what you mean by mediocre horror movies?
Do you mean that Nolan's Batman film's are meant to be horror? I suggest you read Grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum,issued in '89.Real psychological horror graphic novel.When I watch Nolan's Batman I see The Killing Joke,The Long Halloween,Batman Year one and lot's of other nods to the comic's.If you don't like Nolan's Batman,you don't like modern Batman...The Dark Knight.
@ComicBookGeezer I ment horror remakes of Elm Street and films like that. I'll try to read them. My youth leader, like me, is a comic book fan. I'm sure he has a copy of one of those comcs. Oddy enough, Mark Hamill has said he'd do a Killing Joke movie.
I would like to see a film version of Grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum directed by David Fincher...If you have not read the book yet try and do its awesome..its like a psychological horror graphic novel.I think it would suit Fincher well.If you have played Batman Arkham Asylum its based on the book...but the book is much,much darker.
@ComicBookGeezer That would be pretty nice. Personally, I've always wanted to see a Batman vs. Predator. But film rights get in the way. I haven't played the game, but I did read the reviews. Do they have it for Wii, because that's the only game station I have other then DS. And yes, novels usally do surpass movies and games.
Well to be honest AVP films have not been great,but I do have a suggestion for you If you have not seen it already and that's a film on YouTube called Batman Dead end,its fan made and you may dig it...its quite old now but still worth a look,let me know what you think?Arkham Asylum I think is only for PS3,360 and PC.But Nintendo's new machine that come's out called the Wii-U will be launching with Batman Arkham Asylum!
@ComicBookGeezer I have seen it. it was actually pretty good, for a fan fiilm. I know AVP wasen't loved by many, but I liked it. I'll take it over Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus. I've heard about the Wii-U. I may trying to get it for my birthday. Then I can get Arkham.
This old pedo-queer ALMOST killed this franchise... And it's not like Batman & Robin was his last CRAP movie... Look at Phantom of the Opera and that waste of film known as the number 23...
He's a hack director who's gotten lucky on 1 or 2 movies AND apparently loves to recruit even superheroes into his homo-erotic fold...
lol haha wtf i was surprised when i heard this guy lol hahah i thought he was some fucking german or something lol because of his name lol hahah i didnt expect an american accent lol plus he looks kinda german hah
Ok may be I went too far to call Superman a clown but what I meant was Batman is not comparable to any superhero, or a hero. Superman is a superhero, whereas Batman is a vigilante. Not a hero and not a superhuman.
@HalflingShireFolk The problem with your statement is that its true and false. Batman is THE most complicated character in comics. To pin him down as just a vigilante is not accurate. Punishment, the most important aspect in vigilantism, he leaves to the legal system. So hes not completely a hero or vigilante. Also its been argued that in one way Batman is super human. He has indomitable will power. His will is so strong that if he had a green lantern ring(will powered) he would be unstoppable.
Still, since Schumacher realized what he did and apologized, he should be forgiven. The guy was open and direct aynways. And he truly apologized as he mentioned. Everybody can fuck up and nobody`s perfect. we`re only puny corrupt human beings.

Anyways, at least Batman Forever was better than crappy Batman Returns from crappy Burton...

@GamerGuyd7Aces lets just say i thought it sucked. bruce wayne and harvey dent were friends in the comics and the animated series. in this movie they meet at a restaurant? once again we get bale's death metal batman voice, boring filler of bruce wayne going to china, the joker looks cheap and emo, etc. yeah nolan's movies aren't that good. atleast be entertaining if youre gonna change the storyline not put in boring gay filler
FastandFurious450 1 month ago
@FastandFurious450 Well you're one of the few ppl who actually hate Nolan's Batman films. As for me, I never saw Batman as anything more than a corny douche with a gay duo with Robin until Batman Begins came along.. what do u think of that first movie? Dark Knight is my no.1 superhero movie, besides Batman's voice (they better fix that this time round and tone it down!).. the movie was awesome. So you like Schumacher's Batman films, or Tim Burton's?

@GamerGuyd7Aces there are a lot of things i hate in this world(justin beiber, rebecca black, nicki manaj, rap music, college, math class, annoying customers at my job etc.) i dont hate the dark knight i just hate how everybody thinks its a GREAT movie. its not that good and to answer your question i didn't like batman begins either. katie holmes acting like a girl scout whining about justice, bale again playing a douchebag batman, why would ra's al ghul train batman?

@FastandFurious450 its like he trains bruce wayne and teaches him so much just to try and take over the world like bruce wayne is gonna allow it. nolan can't make good batman movies. personally im more of a fan of paul dini, bruce timm and alan burnett. both burton and schumacher dont know batman's history enough but i did love batman 1989 and batman forever. batman returns and batman & robin can fuck off those movies sucked. but arkham city and the animated series? hell yeah

There will not be a venom Bane in this movie,the mask has another function.I don't think a venom induced Bane would quite work in Nolan's Batman universe.But Hardy is quite a big guy and I suggest you watch Bronson and Warrior to get an idea of how physical he can be.

@batman69200
Well in the first DKR trailer you see Bane climbing out of a well,also there is going to be flashbacks to a younger Ras Al Ghul (maybe training Bane etc)I think Nolan will elude to some sort of Bane back story at least (he deserves it) but of course it will fit in with Nolan's Batman vision so some things might be different.But I am sure Bane will be done justice in this film for being a proper badass.But a complete back story I do not think so.The prologue rocks!
ComicBookGeezer 1 month ago
@batman69200 Actually, Man Bat was in another failed project. It was called Batman: DarKnight. They still kept Scarcrow, though. In fact, there were many other projects before begins. Batman Year One and Batman vs. Superman. Still would've been a nice film.
SteveIriwinFan96 1 month ago
@batman69200 Actually yes. He had Jeff Goldblum as Scarcrow, Madona as Harley, Jack Nicholson as Joker. Clooney and O'Donnel were reprising their roles. I wish it came true, because Harley gets so little respect.

ComicBookGeezer 1 month ago
@ComicBookGeezer Okay, in my defense. I like the DESIGN better, but the personality was really wrong. I'll agree with you on that. But I wish people would stop blaming Schumacher, considering Warner did it. They're the ones who made Batman for kids. Never would've happened if Burton had stayed. While B&R wasen't my favourite film, I'll take it over today's mediocre horror remakes. MY OPINION.
SteveIriwinFan96 1 month ago
@SteveIriwinFan96
Well If Schumacher had integrity he could have said no.Bane is intelligence and brawn combined.So he was done no justice.Miller,Morrison,Moore changed Batman even before Burton's effort came out.I would rather have a great actor (Hardy) performing the role with the essence of Bane than some big guy in a mankini and wrestling mask.What work's in comics does not always work on film.WB learned lessons for sure and that's why Nolan is at the helm.Its serious now
ComicBookGeezer 1 month ago
@ComicBookGeezer I agree. The design was correct, but the personality of Ban was waaaaaaaaaaaaay off. Hardy is a great actor, but there are people out there that disagree with that choice. Danny Trejo, who voices Bane on Young Justice, would be a good choice IMO. I'm glad WB learned their lesson. Otherwise,who knows what would've happened.
SteveIriwinFan96 1 month ago
@SteveIriwinFan96
People disagreed with Ledger being The Joker and we all know what happened there(even I had doubts).Also Hamill does a great 'voice' of Joker,but lets be honest could not have done what Heath did.Voice acting is completely different.For me Hardy is one of the best actors of this generation (watch Bronson) and Nolan's casting is usually pretty good.But of course its only opinions.
ComicBookGeezer 1 month ago
@ComicBookGeezer My thoughts exactly. While Hamill may be the best Joker, he's too old to play the character in live action. Legder did a good job, and it's a real shame he only got to do it once. There are actors I think could play him. I think Tim Curry could do it. Watch Stephen King's It.

@SteveIriwinFan96 I think Tim Curry's even older than Mark Hamill. How would that work?

Also can I please ask what you mean by mediocre horror movies?
Do you mean that Nolan's Batman film's are meant to be horror? I suggest you read Grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum,issued in '89.Real psychological horror graphic novel.When I watch Nolan's Batman I see The Killing Joke,The Long Halloween,Batman Year one and lot's of other nods to the comic's.If you don't like Nolan's Batman,you don't like modern Batman...The Dark Knight.
ComicBookGeezer 1 month ago
@ComicBookGeezer I ment horror remakes of Elm Street and films like that. I'll try to read them. My youth leader, like me, is a comic book fan. I'm sure he has a copy of one of those comcs. Oddy enough, Mark Hamill has said he'd do a Killing Joke movie.

@SteveIriwinFan96
I would like to see a film version of Grant Morrison's Arkham Asylum directed by David Fincher...If you have not read the book yet try and do its awesome..its like a psychological horror graphic novel.I think it would suit Fincher well.If you have played Batman Arkham Asylum its based on the book...but the book is much,much darker.

@ComicBookGeezer That would be pretty nice. Personally, I've always wanted to see a Batman vs. Predator. But film rights get in the way. I haven't played the game, but I did read the reviews.

Ok may be I went too far to call Superman a clown but what I meant was Batman is not comparable to any superhero, or a hero. Superman is a superhero, whereas Batman is a vigilante. Not a hero and not a superhuman.
HalflingShireFolk 1 month ago
@HalflingShireFolk The problem with your statement is that its true and false. Batman is THE most complicated character in comics. To pin him down as just a vigilante is not accurate. Punishment, the most important aspect in vigilantism, he leaves to the legal system. So hes not completely a hero or vigilante. Also its been argued that in one way Batman is super human. He has indomitable will power. His will is so strong that if he had a green lantern ring(will powered) he would be unstoppable.
